Dr Manuela Vadrucci graduated and completed her specialist training in Nuclear Medicine in Milan, Italy in 2016. Then, she worked as a research fellow at the European Institute of Oncology IEO in Milan, focusing on molecular imaging in breast and neuroendocrine tumours, before relocating to the UK in 2017. After a few years working as a Locum and then substantive consultant in King’s College Hospital, London, in 2020 she joined St Bartholomew’s Hospital in the same city. Her current position as a Nuclear Medicine Consultant in one of the largest teaching hospitals in England enables her to broaden her knowledge on molecular imaging techniques in common and less common oncological and inflammatory diseases, as well as to contribute regularly to the teaching of pre- and post-graduate medical trainees and radiology resident doctors. She has also shared her experience through several publications, often in collaboration with the co-author of this book.
